The proposed Porto Metro line connecting Estádio do Dragão to the centre of Gondomar will require the removal of up to 533 trees and the demolition of 24 buildings. The project is currently under public consultation until 15 September, with officials evaluating two route alternatives. The study identifies that the underground option would result in a lower environmental impact compared to surface routes.
